In 2005 antibiotic resistant infections killed more Americans than HIV/AIDS and the number of lives claimed by these so-called "superbugs" has only increased. Now more than two million people acquire antibiotic-resistant infections in the U.S. each year, and more than 100,000 die as a result.

Although the dangers are real, there is some cause for hope. Our goal is to help clarify and raise awareness about this vital issue. We believe that once people are better informed they will begin talking, and eventually acting to make things better.

We've just started production. Check facebook.com/resistancethefilm for details. There's more to come soon.

And if you've been affected by resistant bacteria or know anyone who has please let us know there or by emailing resistance@ujifilms.com.
